Raspberry yogurt popsicles
Summer is – or should be – the season of sunshine and warm sticky weather. Long evenings spend with friends on a terrace sipping on a cold glass of wine. BBQ’s and the smell of woodfire coming from neighboring gardens. It should be the season where you wear as little clothes as possible and/or decent. The season where you’ve got to worry if your love-handles haven’t taken over your waist or if it is still worth salvaging…The season where the entire country wants to be on the tiny strip of land we call beach, resulting in massive (and I mean massive) traffic jams all the way from everywhere to the coast… The season you lie in bed and every single thread of fibre on your body is too much to handle. The season where you wake up because the light entering the bedroom is too bright to be ignored. That’s what summer should be more or less, right?
But while I am typing this down it is raining cats and dogs outside (always loved that expression!) and the wind is howling around the house. It looks more like autumn then summer although the temperatures in the house are still of summery proportions. We did have quite a few nice and sunny days really, so I am not complaining… Just stating the obvious. You’ve got to know too that I actually love rain… I think there is nothing more soothing then a downpour of some kind. But.. having said that; all in their own time ofcourse. Rain is for autumn and winter and ok, a little in spring. But summer is supposed to be hot and sunny so we can indulge on lovely treats like this raspberry yogurt popsicle. Which is actually very healthy too as it has almost no sugar, lots of healthy yogurt and fruit! The perfect guilt free summer snack.
The recipe comes from Allerhande which is a food magazine here made by one of the supermarkets… 
They had loads of other popsicle flavors but basically you can add almost anything to it, freeze it and it will come out tasting delicious. I’m planning on making loads more! That is… if the weather gets any better…

these look gorgeous!!! do you think I can do the same with sour cherries that have been already frozen?

Hey Olga. I think you should definitely be able to use those too. If you let them thaw a bit, use a fork to puree them somewhat and then add. I’m not sure how it would taste but worth a try I guess

These look fabulous! Perfect for fighting the summer heat wave.

The popsicles look great.

Mmmm, popsicles are so easy and refreshing… We’re having a fresh summer here too, well fresh for Central Spain’s standards, of course

Simone (junglefrog) — July 13th, 2011 at 17:04
I’m sure your Spanish freshness is a hot summer day here! lol
[Reply]
Simone, your writing is so lovely! What a beautiful post that made me smile! Yes, summer should indeed be all that and yes we have had our more than fair share of rain and cold here as well. But even that wouldn’t stop me from enjoying one of these gorgeous pops! They are fab! And LOVE the photos! A+ darling!

O thanks Jamie, that means a lot to me coming from you..

I love frozen yogurt! I will definitely love this!
[Reply]
Those look so refreshing and so summery!

These are gorgeous – especially photographed right on the bed of ice… but, we are into our 6th day of rain here, so I am a bit glum… and the mosquitoes are as big as eagles and vicious vampires – so even when the sun does come up, we will be hovering indoors. What is happening to my summer?

O you’re having the rain too… Yep it’s seems to be doom and gloom everywhere. I think the mosquitos started coming out in february already here. Possibly not as bit as yours but still pretty annoying!
[Reply]
Love the yogurt in the popsicles, Simone! Healthy and yum treat indeed.
[Reply]
Tell me about it! Where the hell is Summer anyway? It’s not with you and it’s not here in London, I can tell you! Although, havimg said that, despite the distinct lack of sun the trains are still unbearable and our bedroom is still too hot to sleep in many nights. Go figure. Love the name of the magazine – allsorts! And wow, could these popscles be any easier or prettier? Time to test-drive my IKEA popsicle moulds!

We had one day of sunshine in between yesterday but it’s raining again and forecasts are pretty bad going forward. It’s still very hot and sticky though… Hmmm.
[Reply]
When I was a kid, I actually prefered frozen yogurt to ice cream! Summer is finally picking up here, it’s actually been pretty nice. A few thunderstorms, but they’re good for relieving the humidity, and there have also been a lot of sunny days.

Simone (junglefrog) — July 16th, 2011 at 17:13
In all fairness we did have a few good days too but it’s funny how we tend to forget when we get autumn in the middle of summer..
[Reply]
I’m so jealous of your rain! Our summer started early, and the heat is out of control. I need popsicles like these every day. The raspberry and yogurt sound great!
[Reply]
We are on the same wavelength! I made raspberry frozen yogurt a few days ago – and I often make berry/kefir popsicles – so good!
[Reply]
Simone (junglefrog) — July 16th, 2011 at 17:14
Hmmm berry and kefir sounds good too… Got to keep that in mind for future popsicles!
[Reply]
I LOVE these! The swirly, yummy ‘ice cream man’ summer memories are bursting through my lobes now. BUT, they’re healthy and my fav fruit flavor..raspberry!! I need to make a good ice pop soon, but I need to buy one of those popsicle freezer/holders like you have, first..hate using waxed dixie cups, foil and sticks! Great write-up too
[Reply]
This is perfect for me, I’ve been wanting a lower calorie, higher nuturient snack, and ice-pops that down drown in sugar!!! I could have a few of these during the day!
[Reply]
We’re in the middle of our typical summer heat wave, so anything frozen looks amazing to me today. Your photos make me feel like I can reach in and grab one off my screen. They look delicious!
[Reply]
Those popsicles look so good! I’d love for you to come by and show off your recipe at These Chicks Cooked Recipe Spotlight today. Have a blessed day
